5 Things to Consider When Picking an Engagement Ring

Are you looking for the perfect engagement ring? Your partner may already have picked an engagement ring but if they’ve proposed and decided to go ring shopping together, here are some things to consider when picking an engagement ring.

5 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN PICKING AN ENGAGEMENT RING

The Shape

The shape is the most important when it comes to an engagement ring design, and it’s good to have a fairly fixed idea of what shape you are after.

If not, then there’s plenty to choose from, and it’s good to get an idea of what you want before you go ring shopping. Some examples of popular shapes include princess, oval, cushion and round.

Your Budget

Depending on your financial situation, shopping for an engagement ring is fairly versatile when it comes to a budget. You can get yourself an engagement for very little, or if your budget allows, there are more extravagant options that are worth thousands.

Considering you’ll have a wedding to budget for too, make sure you are spending within your means and not going too crazy on the ring. Of course, it’s something that means a lot to you and your partner, but it’s not worth going into debt over.

The Type of Metal

A popular choice is platinum as it’s the most durable and when it comes to an engagement ring, durable is what you want. There’s also gold which comes in a variety of colors than just your standard traditional color.

Perhaps something old and new mixed together would be quite traditional, and some rings are made up of recycled metals. The metal can also affect the price so make sure to factor this into your budget.

The Quality

As an engagement ring is a particularly special piece of jewelry, it’s important that you shop at reputable jewelers where you can ideally get a quality ring with a guarantee on it for a few years.

It’s always important to insure your engagement ring too, especially as you are likely to be wearing it for the rest of your life.

Ask your friends and family members for recommendations on where the best jewelers are and don’t forget to shop around to get good value for your money.

Your Preference

If you both want one particular ring, you should consider whether you want it to be the same style or may be made out of the same materials but a different design altogether. Again, it all amounts to your budget, but it’s certainly a lovely touch to both have an engagement ring.

Picking out an engagement ring is a very important event in your life, so make sure you take your time when it comes to picking one. Know the style you want and what you can work with in terms of your budget but also consider the quality of what you’re buying.
